Development, production & service Frederikshavn

In the northern Denmark seaport and harbor city Frederikshavn, Everllence operates a propeller and aft ship expertise and production center – specializing in and with an R&D focus on propulsion systems, propeller and aft ship solutions, energy efficiency, fuel savings, emission reductions and minimal carbon footprints.

Frederikshavn is a central maritime location with shipyards, Scandinavian ferry operators and a Royal Danish Navy base. The community has a strong cluster of maritime service, repair and recycling companies, as well as subcontractors for the offshore oil, gas and wind industry.

It is a service location by nature, where ships, ships’ engines and propulsion machinery are repaired and maintained around the clock.

High-efficient propulsion solutions

Within the global Everllence business, Frederikshavn is a focal point for propulsion and aft ship solutions – based on small-bore engines, propellers, reduction gears and propulsion control systems. The aim is always to achieve maximum propulsive performance, balanced against the lowest total cost of ownership over the product lifecycle. The organization’s dedicated expert teams are highly specialized in propulsion and system integration within research, development, production and aftersales services – able to make maximum use of, for example, the latest state-of-the-art tools in hydrodynamic, hydraulic, electronic and mechanical design.

Our local PrimeServ harbor-site Service Center Denmark has large repair shops as well as stock and quay facilities, offering a full service portfolio from maintenance, reconditioning, upgrades and repair work to complete overhauls.

Technology innovations

Underwater Radiated Noise - URN

Controlled by, among other factors, blade design, rake, camber, pitch and chord length in the tip region – optimized for minimized cavitation and increased cavitation inception speed (CIS) while maintaining propulsive efficiency.
